Sony May Charge For PlayStation Network 212

In an interview with IGN, Sony's VP of marketing, Peter Dille, responded to a question about the PlayStation Network by saying that the company is considering charging for the service. He said, "It's been our philosophy not to charge for it from launch up until now, but Kaz recently went on the record as saying that's something we're looking at. I can confirm that as well. That's something that we're actively thinking about. What's the best way to approach that if we were to do that? You know, no announcements at this point in time, but it's something we're thinking about." This follows news of a customer survey from last month that listed possibilities for subscription-based PSN features.

Seinfeld's Good Samaritan Law Now Reality? 735

e3m4n writes "The fictitious 'good samaritan' law from the final episode of Seinfeld (the one that landed them in jail for a year) appears to be headed toward reality for California residents after the house passed this bill. There are some differences, such as direct action is not required, but the concept of guilt by association for not doing the right thing is still on the face of the bill."

My thought exactly. I've been looking at this thing trying to figure out how you'd hold and use it. Too big to use your thumbs for the keyboard like a smartphone, you'd have to sit bolt upright and look directly down at it to use all 10 fingers. Weird.

What about looking at logfiles? If your landlord is doing repairs on your home he can see who's going in and out and what they're carrying. Same thing with looking through the email logs as a normal course of business isn't it?

And of course, your landlord can enter your apartment with your keys if he has sufficient reason to believe you're knocking holes in the wall or causing some other damage.

If he's needs some beta testers I want to get on the list. I was prescribed bifocals a year and a half ago, kept them for a couple of months and had to give them up, I just couldn't find the comfort zone with them. So I'm back to single vision glasses, and while I have no problem reading or watching TV (for instance) I can't go back and forth between them. I'd buy this guy a beer if I could try his lenses on for a while.

So how about some kind of blocking in the classroom proper and open access in hallways and communal areas like locker rooms and the cafeteria?

I see part of the problem being the lack of respect shown to teachers in the classroom. We've seen stories, seems like a couple posted here, of a teacher asking a student to stop using their phone, then attempting to confiscate it and all kinds of hell breaking loose. Students will use their phone when they shouldn't and unfortunately the teachers don't have much recourse.

Comment Prisoners do it (Score 1) 865

Look into some type of prison workout with body weight exercises. You could work those in during breaks, lunch, bathroom trips, whenever. Now, if you don't get breaks, lunch or bathroom trips, then why the hell are you working in such a piss-poor circumstance anyway? You'll die young at that age regardless of what you try to do.

Comment X-Files (Score 1) 753

Wasn't X-Files on Friday night? Maybe Fox is rolling the dice that with the current economic situation people will be staying home more instead of going out and they'll be looking for something decent on the tube. (can we still call it 'the tube' or should we switch to 'the panel'?)
